One PhD opening in Atomistic and Multiscale Computational Mechanics at the University of Alabama

A PhD position is available as early as Fall, 2021 or Spring 2022 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa). This position is in the general area of mechanics, structural and multifunctional materials with focus on mechanical and thermal properties. PhD students in our group will be involved in first principle calculations (e.g., DFT), molecular dynamics simulation, and concurrent-atomistic-continuum modeling. Highly self-motivated students with background in mechanical engineering, materials science, engineering mechanics, solid mechanics, civil engineering or related area are encouraged to apply.

Interested applicants should send an email to Dr. Ning Zhang nzhang20@eng.ua.edu with your resume, cover letter, GRE, TOEFL or IELTS scores if applicable. Applicants who are already in US will be preferred.
